What should I take with me on my cruise?

'Salem's Lot

The Shining

The Stand

So I will be in the middle of the ocean next week for a good 7 days, which means I get to do a bit of reading. I just started Stranger in a Strange Land and hope to have it finished or at least most of it finished by the time I board my ship.

Which leads me to the question, what should I read on board?

I've narrowed it down to three contenders...

If it helps, my last cruise I read Needful Things and really loved it. Last year I read Night Shift on the beach and thoroughly enjoyed it.

And I'd enjoy a brief explanation for your choice.

(For fairness, the books are arranged in alphabetical/publishing order)

'Salem's Lot, because out of those three it's my favorite (and one of my favorite SK books of all time) with The Stand being one of my least favorite SK books. As for The Shining, I like it but I don't love it.
